I lived in Dubai for 5 years and had many occasions to use this hotel, from a tourist point of view it suffers from a location point of view (not on the beach) and on the "ever so busy" Shk Zayed Road. Considered more of a business hotel it is still a great place to stay. In my opinion, having... more

Great location specially for the business traveller. Rooms are fully loaded with small things which come very handy. Breakfast was a little dull though. more

My wife and I were in Dubai in early April for a medical conference. We opted to stay at the Fairmont as it was very conveniently located on Sheikh Zayad Road within a few minutes of the Trade Centre. From the moment our cab door was opened by the doormen, to the efficient and pleasant registration desk, from the excellent... more

Dubai offers lots of choice for business travelers, the Fairmont has a couple of great restaurants and a good spa - the rooms are spacious and it's proximity to the exhibition centres is a real plus. The buffet is terrible do eat in one of the other restaurants, but the hotel overall comes up trumps for a peaceful, relaxing time... more

We recently stayed for 10 days at this hotel and were delighted with our choice. Just before we came out we nearly changed to go with another hotel and I'm so glad we didn't. From the moment we arrived we were so impressed with the staff. We arrived 6AM and got early check in which was just what we needed.... more

Had a girls weekend away here, chose the hotel because of the spa. The staff and service at this hotel was the best I have experienced in Dubai, everyone was so friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything was what we wanted. We had booked a one bedroom suite which was just beautiful, photo's on the hotel website weren't... more

From the moment you walk in you feel well taken care of at the Fairmont Dubai. The lobby is well maintained and the bellmen/lobby staff were very pleasant. Check-in was the biggest disappointment of the entire trip. We arrived at 3:30 to check in, and was told our room was not ready yet, and was offered a few complimentary beverages... more

As a regular business traveller I thought I'd try the Fairmont given the attractive summer rates. I'm a regular at the Shangri-la and Emirates Tower and in my opinion the Fairmont really is in a league below these hotels. Staff are friendly and professional enough but compared to other 5* hotels in Dubai rooms are looking tired although bathrooms are... more

We typically travel through Dubai once or twice a year and have done for the last 4 years. Our first time here was for 5 days and to be honest the Dubai bug has never really got us! Its great as a portal to other places but only for stopevers! Every year we have a meal at The Exchange Grill... more
